WASHINGTON (AP) — Education Secretary Linda McMahon is expected to move quickly now that the Supreme Court has cleared the way for the Trump administration to continue unwinding her department.

The justices on Monday paused a lower court order that had halted nearly 1,400 layoffs and had called into question the legality of President Donald Trump’s plan to outsource the department’s operations to other agencies.

Now, Trump and McMahon are free to execute the layoffs and break up the department’s work among other federal agencies. Trump had campaigned on closing the department, and McMahon has said the department has one “final mission” to turn over its power to the states.

“The Federal Government has been running our Education System into the ground, but we are going to turn it all around by giving the Power back to the PEOPLE,” Trump said late Monday in a post on Truth Social. “Thank you to the United States Supreme Court!”

Department lawyers have already previewed McMahon’s next steps in court filings.

Obviously he'd want education gone.

It sounds like we are going to be taxed the same and receive fewer services. Actually, worse than that, because if you live in a state that cares about education at all, you will have to pay additional tax at the state level. These guys suck.

We are going to be taxed the same, receive fewer services, and our tax money used to fund ICE, deportations to terrorist prisons, and concentration camps. And to defend against all the lawsuits that basically everyone is filing against this stupidity.

Well good thing they expanded the SALT deduction I guess. Education in red states is going to become even more abysmal than it was.

Only til 2030 when the cap reverts back to the $10k (married) cap Trump implemented in 2017.

[–] Corkyskog@sh.itjust.works 7 points 1 day ago

Let me guess that the cuts for 0.1% don't revert in 2030...

I heard historical anecdote that Hitler claimed that Eastern Europe survivors should have just a few years of education to be educated enough to use agricultural machinery.
